Shouldn't really have to re level unless your in a soft area where the jacks sit.

x2...besides the proper way would be to bring the slides back in and then re-level the unit and it sounds like you are using it so that might just be a pain in the butt to have to move things just to do that.

However have noticed the dealers will tell you that the slides need to be in to level...or you should level before you put the slides out...but I have noticed in all the shows and dealerships I have been to that they don't follow their own advice...

You don't say what model you have. If you have stabilizers and not levelers, you can damage the frame by leveling. Stabilizers are designed to be used to stabilize the trailer once you have it level. They should not be used to raise one corner of the RV to get it level.
